Title: Hello Post by: Fewarechosen7F on January 24, 2004, 03:00:21 AM My name is Anne.
This week my husband starts a new tuck driving job, owner/operator. And I have been deliverd from co-driver status. :) We live in Louisiana. He has 6 adult children, and I have 5. We have 13 grandchildren. I look forward to studying with you all. Title: Re:Hello Post by: sincereheart on January 24, 2004, 08:02:51 AM Hi and welcome!
Delivered from co-driver status... LOL! Did you make runs with him? And won't it be lonely while he's gone? Or will it be a reprieve to have some time by yourself? ;) I spent many a good year in Louisiana. Before the boats, of course ::).... Shreveport/Bossier City. Are you anywhere near there? Again, welcome! Title: Re:Hello Post by: Fewarechosen7F on January 25, 2004, 06:36:44 AM Thanks for the welcome.
It has to be real love to be married and living in a truck 24 hours a day. ;) There is no place to hide in the tough and angry times. But no, it will not be lonesome. We went from long haul to local. Where we were out for as much as 6 weeks before coming home, now Danny can make a round trip in one day. That means he will sleep in a real bed every day, ;D and I do mean daytime. We will be living in Shreveport. Title: Re:Hello Post by: sincereheart on January 25, 2004, 06:50:38 AM Ooh! Shreveport! So much I do miss! I still have family and friends in and around that area! Actually, from Dallas to Princeton! ;D
One of these days we'll get back that way if the Lord's willing, to visit everyone. Ok, now you've made me homesick! ;) No more OTR! That is wonderful! I wonder how long it will take for you guys to acclimate to 'real' hours! LOL! When I was a kid, I thought the sleeper was the coolest thing! I used to want one so bad! 8) No, not anymore! I still wish they wouldn't have brought in those boats! >:( It has to be real love to be married and living in a truck 24 hours a day. ROFL! Title: Re:Hello Post by: Fewarechosen7F on January 27, 2004, 01:36:17 AM Air Force brat huh?
Oh well. I'm an oil field brat myself. But Danny is a trucking brat, and believe me, they are THE worst. I think they spared the rod and spoiled the child. :-X Regular hours won't take much getting used to. I know it sure is gonna beat sitting in the truck waiting to be told you have a load. Title: Re:Hello Post by: sincereheart on January 27, 2004, 03:30:48 AM Yep, an AF brat! And right after he retired he went straight to oilfield during the 'boom' and then was a hot-shot driver... I loved to go on runs with him! Nothing beats stopping on the way back for a cheeseburger at 3 a.m.! ;D
Now a 'trucking brat' is a new one on me! LOL! I guess it's too late to apply the rod? ;) Sounds like you'll adjust well and quickly! That's wonderful! Title: Re:Hello Post by: nChrist on January 28, 2004, 08:55:12 AM Oklahoma Howdy to Anne,
I'm a grandpa also, but I just have two so far. I sincerely hope you enjoy Christians Unite. (http://www.sirinet.net/~blkidps/welcome.gif) Jump in and have some fun. I look forward to your posts. In Christ, Tom Title: Re:Hello Post by: Brandie on January 28, 2004, 10:47:54 AM Hi, there, Anne! I'm new here, too, but thought I'd say hi anyway.
I can sympathize with being in the close quarters of a truck all day for weeks on end. We lived in a 21 (or so) foot travel trailer for a year and also worked together too...talk about togetherness...lol. There were weeks at a time when we weren't even in different rooms for more than 30 minutes. I must admit I'm glad we have separate jobs now; gives us a chance to miss one another a little. Title: Re:Hello Post by: Allinall on January 28, 2004, 03:37:17 PM Welcome Anne!
Title: Re:Hello Post by: Fewarechosen7F on January 28, 2004, 11:42:32 PM Thanks for the welcome Tom, Brandi, and Alinall.
Tom I love dry black eyed peas and cornbread with onion! mmmmmm (savoring the flavor) Alinall :D I just about swim in coffee too! Brandi, like I said before. Workin' together 24/7 in so close quarters with no escape from tempers proves it,s love. Anne Title: Re:Hello Post by: 2nd Timothy on January 29, 2004, 02:27:02 AM Hi Anne,

RN or Practical? I was Practical. Found out I didn't like it. Title: Re:Hello Post by: Fewarechosen7F on January 29, 2004, 11:37:43 PM Hi ollie,
Quote Trucks hmmmmm? There are some beauties on the road these days. There are. We have an 85 Pete. My step-son wants to get into doing the new vinal covering that will eventually take the lace of paint. You have probably seen local delivery vans and company cars that have it in them? I want the globe as seen from space stretched across the hood and cab, with the might sky as the background across the sleeper. Superimposed over the night sky, I want to show Yeshua watching over the world. Bet that would be one of a kind! Title: Re:Hello Post by: Jippia on February 23, 2004, 10:43:32 AM Hello! I am Mirjam. Nice to meet you.
